I love your broad spectrum of writing. Women uplifting women is truly gold dust . I too find it refreshing that Gen Z seem to want voluntary simplicity amidst the pressures society places on us irrespective of age and gender.
I relate so much to this post as one who appeared far more mature in my teens and twenties and then younger when I was older--primarily because I'd been in a catastrophic accident at age 45 that required full facial recon and nine surgeries. And *everyone* seemed to have an opinion on the rebuild, lol. What it came down to... is me knowing "me" and one very genuine photo taken with my daughter at her school in a very silly moment between us that ultimately guided things. MBB's face is hers for a lifetime and it will shift and change by circumstance, time, and her own discretion. We should support women's choices as there's so much nuance in a life fully lived.
Beautifully said. I so admire your strength having gone through such a horrific ordeal, and yet emerging from that still “you”, no matter what anyone thought or said. None of us know what’s really going on behind another person’s eyes - their reasons, stories and life experiences. Too many are quick to judge and criticize, and in MBB’s case: just to get more clicks.
Thank you for introducing me to Gen Z icon Millie Bobby Brown and what she’s accomplished. Clever writing and I enjoyed the pivoting from Millie to you, what you have in common and what you don’t share— your lack of family support and confidence as a result. You are a winner.
Always loved her since she played 11. Amazing how she’s blossomed into an incredibly inspiring woman. Thanks so much for reminding me to pay more attention to her and her work!

I loved seeing her stand up for herself and call people out. Great profile on her!
